Chapter 849: The Division of Tigers and Wolves
The cavalry was not to be underestimated, and the fact that the enemy had not yet seen the figure made Liu Dashao's heartstrings tense.
Jin Guoyi's first battle of his own inexperience in commanding battles for the first time was still a little panicked, but after experiencing the Jiangnan bandits, Liu Mingzhi's command ability has become handy.
However, whether it was in Jin or Jiangnan, Liu Mingzhi faced most of the enemies he faced were mainly infantry.
This is the first time that a real large-scale encounter with cavalry has ever been encountered.
Whether in his previous life or in this life, Liu Mingzhi has heard more than once about the horror of the cavalry.
There are hundreds of cavalry, which can wrap thousands of people; It comes like lightning, and goes like a gale.
Facing this kind of formation for the first time, it is impossible for Liu Mingzhi to say that he is not nervous at all, after all, everyone has grown up little by little.
Liu Mingzhi straightened up and looked at the appearance of the dust and smoke rolling at the south gate of Ganzhou City, holding his breath, and the shaking of the earth became stronger and stronger, indicating that the cavalry was about to rush to the front of the battle.
In terms of the impact of the cavalry, Liu Mingzhi had no doubt that the enemy who was only a few breaths away would rush to the front in an instant.
The war horses of the Western Regions are already known for their strength and toughness, and they cannot tolerate carelessness in the face of such an open terrain.
Sure enough, in a few breaths, I had already seen the boundless enemy army in the Western Regions rushing towards me, and the dust and smoke behind him were rolling and not seeing the day, like a dark cloud overhead.
Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at Ke Yan, a battle-hardened general, learning how he commanded the army to fight.
It was the first time to experience such a large-scale field battle, and Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to study with an open mind and keep improving.
Gather the strengths of hundreds of schools to make up for your own shortcomings.
Ke Yan calmly stared at the enemy army galloping on the opposite side, as if facing a group of rabble, without the slightest nervousness, just this calm and relaxed momentum made Liu Mingzhi admire.
This is the real Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face.
Ke Yan calculated the distance of the enemy army in the Western Regions, and suddenly waved the command flag in his hand, and shouted: "Bed crossbow and arrows!" ”
The crossbowmen of the Eight Ox Crossbows knocked down the hammer in their hands in unison, and the sound of the crossbow strings was tense, and the crossbow arrows left the strings and shot towards the enemy in a flash of lightning.
The distance of 700 steps was only in the blink of an eye, and the menacing cavalry of the Western Regions suddenly screamed miserably.
The crossbow penetrated enough to shoot a large hole in the chest of the opposing cavalry.
However, the arrows of 1,500 bed crossbows were nothing more than a drizzle in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry.
Even though there were a lot of casualties, the enemy still rushed towards the phalanx of the army without hesitation.
In terms of the speed of the cavalry, the bed crossbow soldiers who did not have the city wall to defend had no time to fire the second crossbow arrow, and the crossbowmen of more than 3,000 people resolutely ordered the crossbowmen to draw their sabers from their waists and retreat towards the sword and shield soldiers behind them in an orderly manner.
"Archer, four five-shot shots, release the arrow!"
Ke Yan gave an order, and Liu Mingzhi saw the most shocking scene in his life, 20,000 archers shot in four batches, and the rain of arrows enveloped the entire sky.
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, as if dark clouds were pressing down.
However, the archers were tasked with firing five arrows in a row, and in a short instant, nearly 100,000 arrows broke away from the bowstring and flew towards the enemy army in the Western Regions.
Liu Mingzhi seemed to hold a mouthful in his heart, and the arrow rain of the three thousand archers when he suppressed the bandits was not worth mentioning compared to the one in front of him.
That's the real big picture.
Compared with the damage brought by the bed crossbow, this wave of arrows that covered the sky was a big gain, and the cavalry in the front row of the Western Regions fell densely, covering the arrows on their bodies, and screamed on the ground after a few screams, and then they were annihilated under the later iron cavalry.
Seven or eight thousand enemy troops died in a rain of arrows.
"Shieldman step forward!"
Ke Yan immediately retreated on his horse after giving the order, and the shield hand had just set up a dense array of arrows to shoot from the enemy's large array.
Then, the screams of his own soldiers rushed to hear, and Liu Mingzhi's heart ached.
The people of the Western Regions are not far behind the Turks in riding and archery, and they can effectively organize a counterattack immediately and effectively after riding a horse at such a speed and withstanding a wave of arrow rain under the galloping of horses.
It is definitely a rare elite soldier.
Bursts of words that Liu Dashao didn't understand came from the direction of the cavalry of the Western Regions, and then the enemy soldiers who rushed forward outflanked the phalanx of the army in three directions.
Ke Yan's eyes froze: "Light cavalry and heavy cavalry are divided into two ways to meet the enemy, sword and shield soldiers are approaching, spear and halberd soldiers are assisted, and arrows are assisted by a rain of arrows to meet the enemy." ”
The 10,000 light cavalry led by Xiong Kaishan on the left side of the large army immediately rushed towards the right cavalry of the Western Regions cavalry under the leadership of Xiong Kaishan, and the speed was not inferior to the enemy cavalry in the Western Regions.
However, the acting leader of the heavy cavalry that Liu Mingzhi didn't expect turned out to be Cheng Kai, with the ability of Cheng Kai's new army commander, did he have the ability to lead 10,000 heavy cavalry to effectively resist the enemy army on the left side of the Western Regions?
Compared with the speed of the light cavalry, the speed of the heavy cavalry was a little unbearable to look at, but the shining armor on the heavy cavalry and the chain mail shrouded in the war horse rushed towards the enemy army in the Western Regions with a heavier momentum than the light cavalry.
"The sword and shield soldiers are approaching, and the enemy forces in the middle are surrounded!"
"Long Wu!"
"Long Wu!"
"Long Wu!"
The sword and shield soldiers struck their shields with their horizontal knives and slowly approached the enemy in the middle, without a trace of panic when the foot soldiers faced the cavalry, but with a strong fighting spirit.
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and finally understood why the elite soldiers were called elite soldiers, this is the elite soldiers, and they are not afraid of death! Proud of the horse leather shroud, proud of killing the enemy in battle, this is a strong soldier.
"Archers release their arrows and charge!"
Ke Yan gave an order, and the enemy army in the Western Regions also gave an order, and the enemy's phalanx immediately hung itself on horseback and rushed over wielding a scimitar.
The effect of this wave of arrow rain is not ideal, and the enemy army also eats a trench and grows wise, and will not continue to use their bodies to resist the attack of the arrow rain of Long Wuwei.
"Mo Dao hand stepped forward to assist the sword and shield soldiers!"
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked, it turned out that there were nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Modao team in the middle of the spear soldiers, each of whom was about one meter eight tall, and it took a lot of effort to gather so many Modao teams, even if they were arrogant.
Wearing heavy plate armor, the Mo knife team rushed forward with the sword and shield soldiers with both swords in their hands.
was also in the moment when Liu Mingzhi turned around, and the two sides immediately became entangled together.
The huge impact of the war horse made the soldiers of the sword and shield soldiers suffer enough, and if they were not on the battlefield, they would definitely hold the shoulder blades that had protruded and howl on the ground.
Looking at the battlefield that was mixed together, Liu Mingzhi understood the cruelty of the field battle, and there was no statement of the three armies before and after, and when he came up, he attacked the enemy on all fronts and met the enemy collectively.
"The sword and shield soldiers mutinied, the sharpshooters shot and killed the enemy, the Mo knife team met the enemy, and the spear and halberd soldiers assisted."
The charge advantage of the enemy cavalry in the middle was effectively contained by the sword and shield soldiers, and the enemy troops in the rear could effectively turn around and change their position to continue charging towards Long Wuwei, but the cavalry enemy who was surrounded in the middle and could not run up tried the panic of the Turks for the first time.
The Modao team's meat grinder-like fighting style made the enemy generals panic.
The three thousand Mo swordsmen pushed over the cavalry's horses like war machines, and the advantages of the Mo knife were reflected, and the enemy's scimitar could not be killed at all on the armor of the Mo knife team and was cut off the horse by the Mo knife.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the battlefield full of corpses and sighed, where is this a tired army that has traveled a long distance, it is simply a group of howling wolves!
No wonder the champion Hou can kill the name of a man and a five-hu.
The children of the Han family fought hard to live up to the prestige of the tiger and wolf division.
